TEST DRIVE

Maybe you've been here for a while, or maybe you just got here. Either way, you're all in the same situation - you've been turned into a magical gemstone and stranded in a foreign world! And all you've been left with is the clothes on your back, stripped of all powers except one.

Clearly, you’ll just have to make the best of it.

How this works:

☆ This is a test drive for [community profile] cosmographia, which means you should get a little familiar with the setting and premise.

☆ Otherwise, this is just meant to help you feel out how you may play and serves mainly as a chill interest gathering and get together kind of post! No app necessary, and you don't need to play in this post to apply - or vice versa.

☆ Everybody is welcome! There are no character limitations; pg au oc canon pigeon whatever. Just toss up a topcomment and/or jump any threads that pique your interest.

☆ Rules-wise: Be cool to yourself and others, and keep in mind the other game rules too.

☆ If you do apply to the game and are accepted, and you want to keep the CR, you may so long as what you did isn't setting breaking and everyone involved agrees.


YOUR OPTIONS:

☆ You find yourself in the Heart of a ruined temple. There is a large glowing gem that thrums with some kind of rhythm, and jewels scattered all over the room, kept in strange bubbles. At the very least, touching the large gem will give you a standard info-dump, but some of you might be a little cautious about touching weird luminescent gems. Good thing that there are other people there too!

☆ Or perhaps you already know everything there is to know, and are there in the Heart of the Ruined Temple to greet new arrivals. Or perhaps you simply had business there already, like storing away a corrupted gem from a monster, when someone new seemingly dropped in from no where.

☆ It's Farmer's Market day in the plaza of Waverly Bay! Perhaps you're there perusing the goods and strike up conversation, or accidentally bump into someone and get to know them that way. It's a fairly standard day.

☆ There's an event! You don't really know what else to call them - missions, perhaps? But something in the temple was triggered, and the glowy Heart gem has something new to "tell" you: If you want a new power, you should try telling other people two truths and a lie. Those who you interact with must try and divine the lie from your statements.

You have no idea how something this simple will get you a power, but hey.

R-right, I guess not.

[That's probably not with the total adoration a magnificent beast like Gaston is used to, but she's still not completely sure what to make of all this. At least he seems happier now so, that's... something.]

Hmm... is it a very big village?

[That seems like a fair question! She's only really familiar with Kanon Town but being the most popular person there seems like a decent accomplishment, so....]

[ Hey, it's something! Without hordes of townspeople and a singular midget adoring him, he'll take what he can get. ]

Hardly big, but big enough. We have a sprawling trading hub, quite a number of public utilities and a...library system. [ The last thing is said with some disgust. ]

[He'll just have to settle for... polite conversation?]

I see. The town that I'm from isn't very big either but lots of things there too. Like the school and the concert hall.

There's a library too, of course, in fact I visit it quite a bit. I've found lots of very helpful books there.

[Although something tells her she's not talking to a very big reader here, but that's not a bad thing. ... Right?]

[ BUT WHERE IS THE CONSTANT PRAISE? ]

I doubt you could find truly helpful in those books. Nothing that you wouldn't be able to garner from practical experience.

[IT MUST BE AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE. HE JUST NEEDS TO TRY HARDER.]

Hmm... that's probably true for some things. [Hiking had turned out to be something far different than what she'd imagined from that book, for instance.] But reading about something is still a good place to start, isn't it? Doing a little research in advance really saved me a few times.

[When you were a magical, talking cat who was transformed into a teenage human girl research is very important after all!]
